    Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1949, Laz Slomovits emigrated with his parents after the 1956 Revolution and lived in Israel for three years before moving to the United States. Laz grew up hearing a rich variety of music at home. His father, a fine singer and a cantor in the synagogue, taught him everything from religious music and Italian opera to Hungarian and Yiddish folk songs.

    At age seven, Laz began studying violin, and by then he'd been singing in public for almost three years. Later, he began playing guitar, slide guitar, and pennywhistle, mandolin, harmonica, and various flutes. By his twenties, he had begun writing songs.

    Accompanying Laz on the bowed psaltery is poet, Jennifer Burd. Jennifer is author of three full-length books of poetry, a chapbook with CD of original poems set to music by Laz, and a book of creative nonfiction. She is co-author of a children's play based on Patricia Polacco's book, I Can Hear the Sun. Burd received her MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Washington in Seattle.

    Suggested donation $20 per person. No fees when you pay by cash/check at the door. We are unable to accept credit cards at the door; only online in advance via Eventbrite.

    (Laz and Jennifer will also present two or three songs in the 10am service at Grass Lake United Methodist Church, 449 E Michigan Ave, on Sunday, March 22.)
